Answered: TextField(Area) events not working?

I have a form with disabled items (textfields and textareafields) and when I tap on an item it should be enabled (=editable).

I tried using 'tap' and 'click' in my controller, but they are not firing. However, 'focus' and 'blur' are firing, but the object handed over by the event is a HTMLTextArea and not a Sencha Touch TextAreaField. 'Change' is firing and the object handed over by the event is, as expected, a Sencha Touch TextAreaField.
